Nick.....seriously......you gotta let this thread DIE.



Heheheh! Matt, you haven't grasped that Nick *is* the [beaten, dead-] horse!



What is even more strange, is the unbelievable time-delay in Nick's
netherworld. Like Merlin, he keeps drifting backwards in time, and coming up
with new ad hominems to add to the old, which were never too few to begin with.
A very strange bird. Er, horse.


This last adventure-in-time was a real doozy.
Still, he's no match for Loius Blair when it comes to cut-and-paste hackjobs.
But OTOH, he is not quite as repetitive and therefore boring as Mr. Blair, and
Nick has the good sense to quote a wide variety of other writers, not just his
own, beaten-to-death words.


One of my "favorite" episodes was where Mr. Bourbaki -- *after* being
attacked for his one-sidedness on a certain issue -- proudly proclaimed that
he had "intended" all along to post another side to it, and then proceeded to
do just that. Not feeling satisfied with this last-minute defense, he then
went on to make a series of his famous cut-and-paste hackjob postings, in which
he dishonestly attempted to make it appear as if these events had occured in a
very different order, all as part-and-parcel of one of his trademark ad hominem
attacks, of course, not on this writer, but another one.
I suspect many are fooled by this sort of outright deceit, but as the saying
goes, you can't fool all of the people, all of the time.

Greg Kennedy ("NoMoreChess") has written more of his usual trolling nonsense,
which warrants no response from me beyond disdain. I shall address only a
few specific points to clarify my own position.

What is even more strange, is the unbelievable time-delay in Nick's
netherworld....

Evidently, Greg Kennedy has more time on his hands than I do, and he can use
that time to pursue his favourite pastime here of more "trolling for a flame
war" (to quote John Macnab, whom Greg Kennedy kept calling "Mr. McBad").

I have other things to do besides writing continuously on Usenet.
I may write on a subject when I have found enough time to do it,
and I cannot always predict exactly when that will be.

Like some other writers here, Greg Kennedy prefers *not* to address the factual
contents of my writings *specifically*; instead, he just broadly attacks them
all, as well as me personally, on some other alleged grounds.

I have other things to do besides writing continuously on Usenet.
I do *not* necessarily have the time or the space to write in *one post*
about everything that I intended to write eventually on that subject.
I may write on one subject on one day, and then I may write more on that
subject (or on a related subject) on another day.

For instance, Jeremy Spinrad now is writing a series about 19th century chess
anecdotes, and he is *not* writing about all of them at one time in one post.

I suspect many are fooled by this sort of outright deceit, but as the
saying goes, you can't fool all of the people, all of the time.

Indeed, Greg Kennedy has not succeeded in fooling every reader here.
Evidently, at least several readers already have 'killfiled' "NoMoreChess".

In the RGCP thead, "Iraqis' Defense" (29 March 2003), Louis Blair wrote:
"The falsehood seems to me to be in the rewrite by NoMoreChess of what I wrote.
....So far, what we have seen is NoMoreChess misrepresenting me and trying to
argue that he is correct to assume what I am implying....No matter how many
times NoMoreChess repeats his misrepresentation of what I wrote, it will not
become true."
